By Calmatters Digital democracy reporter Ryan Sabalow:
I meant the legislator’s routine history – not an investigation – when I went to interview an assembly member Mike Gipson In its State Capitol office earlier this month in Sacramento.
I knew that Gardena’s democrat was a former law enforcement officer whose family had undergone the unauthorized death of their 3-year-old child. I was intrigued when The CalMatters Digital Democracy System Flag as a possible story a bill that a gypson was the author to give the victims of the victims of murder more power to press police agencies yes Review the suspended “cold case” investigationsS
It seemed like a good opportunity to inform readers of plaster, who for years has been a democratic leader in the efforts to reform police agencies in California. In the interview, he told me something I don’t know: his partner John Hoglund was killed in the fulfillment of the duties. I was intrigued to do more research on the 1992 murder when I returned to my desk.
But things started to not add when I went to check the facts what Gipson told me. He said he was an officer for 5 ½ years, but his work file, which I received from the Committee on Standards of the Peace Officer, and the training only showed that he was working as a reserve officer at the Maywood police station for 18 months.
I also did not see the name of the gypson mentioned in the 1992 archival news stories, which describe the murder of Hoglund, his funeral or the court of the killer. And I couldn’t Page for commemoration of fallen officersS It confronted me as strange because I assumed, as I think most people would have been, that Gipson had a close relationship with the man he described as his “partner”.
Subsequent reporting has led to today’s story of accountability, which sheds a new light on the allegations that Gipson has made for his police office over the years.
